Protection of Seaport Reinforced Concrete Structure by Impressed Current Cathodic Protective Technology

Circulative water system and reinforced concrete block model were designed to simulate the corrosion of reinforced concrete in oceanic environment.As-designed reinforced concrete block model was continuously protected by making use of impressed current cathodic protective(ICCP) technology.Results show that the designed testing environment at lab conforms well to the working conditions in practical engineering.ICCP technology can be well applied to effectively inhibit the corrosion of the reinforced concrete structure at seaport,realizing sustained protection of the reinforced concrete structure in a long term.
